Lord Tell Me Why |
| Lord tell me why a white man ain’t worth nothing in this world no more |
| Lord tell me how you 'spect me to stand up tall and proud |
| I did just what you told I done everything you said |
| But the way I’m doing lately I could have stood in bed |
| So Lord tell me why a white man ain’t worth nothing in this world no more |
| Lord tell me when a white man’s gonna be all right again |
| Please fix it Lord they took back everything we been working for |
| When the riots tore our city I stood watch outside our home |
| My kids crying daddy why can’t they leave us alone |
| Split level in Valencia where the cops reside |
| We had to walk away and leave old memories inside |
| Lord tell me why a white man ain’t worth nothing in this world no more |
| You can walk across the silvery moon and get back home all right |
| But it ain’t safe to walk the streets of your home town at night |
| I’m a Lord man from the Lord land |
| But a Lord man ain’t worth nothing in this world no more |
